Rome Targa 2013,

Some shots of Bjorn Leines model.



Rome wanted to make sure that everyone knew that this binding (and others) came with 3 canting options in 3 different degrees. This year they are shgipping with a cant pre-installed and the "Yes I Cant" right there for all to see.



This is the greatest feature ever to get no attention. A rider's feature for sure. Never struggle with your straps getting in the way again while you are trying to put your boot in.

Ryan Davis introduces the Impossible (Ass Pickle). This tech will likely trickle way down the gnu line.

By the way, Lib Tech will likely never do a full wrap. They have this special bonding on the tips that is supposedly more durable than having edges around it. I guess some of the reps was showing our buyer the durability by slamming the tips of a board repeatedly into the ground.

I'm still not sold on that, but w/e.

Neither, but yeah.

I see enough Libs with fucked up tips to make me think

They're most likely 10yrs old and owner loves em too much to let em die

I'm curious to see the graphics on capitas lineup and also any tech changes.

[sweeper]

Any shots of the new Bataleon Goliath?

Thanks for the Pics.
Looking at the boards in the back, I think I see a Proto (second from the left) and SL (third).
Any chance we could get a close up of those?
Any major tech change for either?

Hahhh! That is Shannon, my daughter (you have no idea how old that makes me feel). She is our clothing /outerware buyer. The Libs look unreal!
